Art Group
Mondays 1.30 to 3.30
Contact Gillian on gillianlester201@gmail.com
The art group meets on Monday afternoons at the hall. It is a small, friendly and welcoming group and you don’t need to be an artist to join in. It can be more accurately described as a “Creative Corner” as anyone who is interested in creative crafts is most welcome. There are art supplies and tutorials available to use in the first instance, or just bring the craft of your choice to do in the company of others. Contact Gillian on 07738225996
Book Club
The Book Group was established in July 2011. The group works in partnership with Stirling Council's Library Service and as much as possible borrows books from the Library Service stock. This supports the Library Service and the books are delivered locally by the Mobile Library.
The group meets every 6-8 weeks in the Village Hall and the cost of the room is shared amongst the attendees. Tea and coffee is available free of charge.

The trout fishing season runs from 15th March to 6th October annually.
